DC Preservation League to Receive 2013 Institute Honor Award
for Collaborative Achievement by The American Institute of Architects

The DC Preservation League  is the recipient of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2013 Institute Honor Award for Collaborative Achievement.

Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement are given by the AIA to recognize and encourage distinguished achievements of allied professionals, clients, organizations, architect teams, knowledge communities, and others who have had a beneficial influence on or advanced the architectural profession.

The jury, made up of respected architects from across the country commented that “Architectural history is a major part of the ethos of Washington, and the DC Preservation League has been a staunch and devoted steward of that history. The city’s appearance today owes a great deal to DCPL’s efforts in promoting solid preservation, architectural, and urban design principles.” 

“DCPL was honored to be nominated for this esteemed award by our colleagues at AIADC and we are delighted that the hard work of our staff and volunteers has garnered this national recognition.” said Edward D. Dunson, AIA, President of the DCPL Board of Trustees.

The League would also like to congratulate Ginnie Cooper of the DC Public Library for receiving the AIA’s Thomas Jefferson Award for Public Architecture. “Ginnie has been a tremendous advocate for the rehabilitation and reuse of historic DC Public Library buildings and the visionary for the innovative architecture of its new additions to Washington’s neighborhoods.” said Rebecca Miller, Executive Director of the DC Preservation League.                                                                      

DCPL will receive its award at the American Institute of Architects National Convention in Denver in May 2013.
